Corinthians PG-13

Certain things can be taken for granted when you're a div student. You'll learn at least one thing that makes you question your faith. You'll spend a lot of time answering the questions "What's that?" and "Oh. What are you going to do with that?" And of course, you'll eventually watch the Mandy Moore evangelical parody Saved. I checked it out last night, in a bid to get all my veg-ing done before classes start, and liked it a lot. Unsympathetic characters use religion as a whip and a fence; the likeable ones--thank you, Hollywood--don't abandon faith, but use it to draw strength out of life's confusing and painful events. "What would Jesus do? I don't know, really," muses the central character, a teenager who gets pregnant in a (repented) attempt to save her boyfriend from being gay. "But for now, at least we're all trying to figure it out together." What a mature understanding of what it means to be church.
